That'd be good buying and meets your rough brief.

Vx3 4.5-14 cds (25mm or 30mm side focus) or swaro Z3 4-12 with ballistic turret should do the business without going too spendy
Cheap and Swaro don't go in the same sentence boss!!
Disagree they often come up for around 1200 or less.Quote:

The Swaro has the advantage that you can actually see through the glass.
I have seen plenty of Z3's go for around 12-1400, new, or close enough to it..
I was referring to the "cheap"... as in quality.
OP needs to define his budget because my definition of cheap and the numbers that are coming up in postings do not gel.
"Good" + "Cheap" = oxymoron
My assumption of OP's meaning of a good, cheap scope.
4.5 - 18 x 40
Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40 .308 DZ - Bushnell - Scopes - Optics - Reloaders Supplies Ltd
$250
Burris C4 or Nikon Monarch.
I have both, and they both perform a lot better than the price would suggest.
Sightron S3 6-24x50, very reasonably priced and a good quality scope
Did you even open the link?Quote:

I refrain from commenting on his or others sale thread as that's just wrong.

Your standards are obviously much higher than mine, and fair enough, but even with my ageing eyes I still don't seem to have any trouble seeing through my Leupold, Bushnell, Weaver or Nikon scopes. It's when I don't have optical help I struggle.Quote:

Any indication of budget?
This would narrow things down a lot.
Obviously as soon as you give a top dollar people will start saying "save a little more for the better (more expensive) one. You won't regret it".
Also keep an eye out for Nikko Night eaters or Nikko Target masters. They are not as good as the far more expensive brands but they are reasonbly priced and for what you get they are decent value for money. Pick up a NEW 8-32x50 for around $650. (slightly less than that from memory) or a 4-16 for around $400 (Also brand New)
PM me if either of these are in your budget. The two target masters I have here are the Japanese made ones with japanese glass before the followed Leupold, Redfield et al to the Phillipines, Indonesia and china assembly plants.
Usually good and cheap don't go together as far as optics go but bang for buck it's hard to go past the leupold vx3i range also the sightron s3 scopes are bloody good.
I like the Vortex Viper PST 4x 16 I paid around $1350 and if you want to pay less around $800 try the Vortex Diamondback 4x16 x44 HP. There are a lot better around but they command a higher price. So far no trouble with the Vortex's
If you can find a second hand leupold mk4 they're actually not a bad scope...
I forgot this is for sale it might suit your needs
